Nikola Tesla Museum: A Tribute to a Genius

The Nikola Tesla Museum (Serbian: Музеј Николе Тесле, Muzej Nikole Tesle) stands as a testament to the life and work of the legendary inventor Nikola Tesla. Located in the heart of Belgrade, the museum boasts an impressive collection of more than 160,000 original documents, over 2,000 books and journals, 1,200 historical technical exhibits, 1,500 photographs and photo plates, and over 1,000 plans and drawings. This treasure trove of Tesla’s legacy makes the museum a vital part of Belgrade’s tourism, an essential stop on any guided tour. In recognition of its importance, the Nikola Tesla Archive was inscribed on UNESCO’s Memory of the World Programme Register in 2003, highlighting its critical role in the history of electrification and future technological advancements.

Museum of Yugoslavia and House of Flowers: Remembering Tito

The Museum of Yugoslavia, located in the Dedinje district, offers a comprehensive look at the period of Socialist Yugoslavia and the life of its leader, Josip Broz Tito. Founded in 1996, the museum was established to replace the “Josip Broz Tito” Memorial Centre and the Museum of the Revolution of Yugoslav Peoples. The complex includes three buildings—the 25 May Museum, the House of Flowers (which houses Tito’s grave), and the Old Museum—spanning a total area of 5,253 m². This public history museum is a key site for understanding the historical and cultural landscape of Yugoslavia.

FC Red Star Stadium: The Marakana of Belgrade

Home to Red Star Belgrade, the Rajko Mitić Stadium (formerly known as Red Star Stadium) is the largest stadium in Serbia and the former Yugoslavia, with a seating capacity of 55,538. Opened in 1963, the stadium earned the nickname Marakana, reminiscent of the famous Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, due to its original capacity of about 110,000. Over the years, the stadium has undergone several modernizations to meet UEFA standards for comfort and security, transitioning from standing places to fully seated stands. This iconic stadium is renowned for its vibrant atmosphere and is a challenging venue for visiting teams.
